I am a littel bit dissapontet of my/car performace 0-60.
I try a lot of pulls 0-60 but my time is still over 6s 7s
I see some videos on youtube where a 12 rt make in 4.xx to 60 or 5.xx secounds.

I try today some pulls on a dry flat street it was 30 degree
100 meter over see level.
Traction Controll OFF
The street surface was new so it has grip.
Car was running on 98 Oct/ 93 Oct US Standart no GPL.

First Pull i rev to 2000 RPM let the clutch come and have some wheelspin and miss the 3rd gear
7,40 sec 0-60

Sec Pull Rev 1600 RPM let the clutch come and the car starts the RPM drop down and the car slowdown. Then it accelerate
0-60 7,14 sec

Mine is stock except for MOPAR CAI and I run 5.63 to 5.90 0-60 per the EVIC. I am not launching hard at all. I disable traction control. I'm an old man so my reflexes are not what they used to be! I know the car can do better.

Ditto... on a flat stretch, I'm consistently in the 5.6's to 5.8's with my best being 5.63. I can probably do a little better than that, but not much. Best times have come shifting around 5300-5500 and launching at 1800 RPM.

my best so far was 5.33 with my mods, minus the fastman TB. i launched at about 1400 RPMs and didnt redline 2nd. i went to third at about 5300. seems from around 5300 to redline i loose my powerband. idk though i have not dynoed it yet.

If the ethanol is the light end of the fuel, maybe we could have a metal pot sitting over an open fire, and pour gas in the pot and let the fire heat it up until the ethanol cooks off

how many miles on your car?
I have a 2012 rt 6sp with 2500 miles on it. Bone stock, with a 1/4 tank of gas or less I run 5.66 to 5.9 on flat surfaces 85 degrees & traction control on.
Launch around 1800, ease the clutch quickly but do not dump.
wheels will slip but not spin.
Wind out 1st & 2nd to 5100 rpms (if your spark retards, you went too far).
You must hit 3rd gear quickly... second will only take you up to 57/58 mph.
I have also tried 'power shifting', leaving the gas to the floor between 1st to 2nd & 2nd to 3rd shifts with mixed results (1st to 2nd usually will spin a bit more).

She didn't break the into the 5s until approx 2000 miles on the engine.

Hey my car has now over 6000 miles. 3000 miles i drove in the past 2 weeks.
So what i read i am almost 2-1,5 Sec Away from the Times what all post here.

When i came at the week end back from ho÷iday i will make a vid of my trys

But what can make me loose almost 2 Sec? Spark Plugs or TB or the Intake?

I have a bone stock 2011 R/T Classic 6spd and my best is a 4.79. Started off at a 5.4 and once I figured out my launch, slowly whittled it down below 5. I leave traction control on and don't launch very hard.
